This would be really cool, if it ever came about,
and if it were based on standards, and not just a
reverse-engineering of what browsers were doing.
It reminds me of those "Yes, it works with Netware"
symbols that you see in trade magazines. You know you
can buy that product and it will work with your server
(if you are running Netware, of course.)
People could put that on their web sites instead
of advertisements for whatever browser. On the other
hand, I suppose people should try to write HTML that
is compatible with older browsers.
But from a consulting perspective, it would be nice to
tell customers "you should use a browser that is
W3C-listed" rather than "you should download *X*
browser"
